He's also a speaker, blogger, online business coach, and he spent the last decade guiding and directing creative professionals on how to pursue meaningful work.

• [16:18] Why, in this time of a global pandemic, is it a time for anybody to want to think about starting a business?

When you find yourself in a rut and running out of new content to share, what do you do? Do you force yourself to come up with a new one regardless if it is uninspired or do you wait until inspiration strikes?

Most of us hold back or get stuck because we feel the need to constantly create new things. For years in my business, I've been creating and generating content until I have nothing new to say. Then I would hide until I can find something new to provide.

But then I realized as I was going through my old, forgotten content - it still had IMPACT! Spend some time with me today as I share with you the reasons why repurposing your content can help you unearth a goldmine.

• [05:43] Had I been smarter, where should I have looked for inspiration on content for my audience?
• [06:28] Why do people listen or watch their favorite content over and over again?
• [07:45] Reason# 1: Reuse stories and content because some people are just getting introduced to you.
• [10:09] Why do commercials constantly run and eventually become viral?
• [10:55] Reason# 2: Reuse stories and content because you get better at it.
• [13:04] Reason# 3: Reuse stories and content because it helps to reinforce your voice and ideas.
• [15:00] How do you get to a "spiritual moment" as a speaker?

We are experiencing a new normal today - where we have to stay home to keep safe and as a result, everyone wants to keep in touch or share something virtually. But can too much of a good thing be bad enough?

In today's episode, I want to share with you a few things you can do to still be able to share your message when everyone else is speaking.

• [04:23] Robert shares his family's new normal at home.
• [05:05] How has interaction differed at this time? How have you been managing at this time?
• [06:28] FB Lives and Zoom sessions: is this innovation or are we suffering with "Zoom-itis"?
• [07:23] If everyone is doing Lives and Zoom meetings, who is listening and watching when everyone is talking?
• [08:01] Tip #1: Be intentional. What is your purpose in speaking?
• [09:52] Tip #2: Watch how you look. What will you do to make your message stand out?
• [11:47] Tip #3: Be a little different. Incorporate your brand in your message but add in the element of surprise.
• [13:20] Tip #4: Use props. Appeal to your audience visually to get their attention; have great content to keep them there.
• [14:37] Tip #5: You've got to BELIEVE in your STORY. Somebody needs to learn from your story and you have to share it!
